Yeah I see it happen. I just don't understand how he managed to not just stop. Or turn. Or keep going? I feel like if he did anything other than what he managed to do, it would have been fine.

Pretty much this. I can confirm old FWDs with the steel beam rear suspension can get pretty nasty oversteer in turns if the rear tires get caught up in something. It just ends up being hilarious that it happened at such low speed.

I think that has something to do with the copious amounts of white smoke that was absent prior to the crash.

Has the .gif been slowed down for the crash?

Toe angle of the LR tyre after he bounces the kerb looks a bit off. I think he might have broken something back there which compounded his issues, which would be very surprising at that apparent speed.

vvv It's a wet sump, so I'd guess the smoke is oil getting where it shouldn't normally get.

Wouldn't the white smoke be coolant/water? He probably tore a radiator hose or otherwise sprung a leak in the coolant system when it tipped over the curb/bridge and fell.

Never lift or shift.

The best part is that he saved it, but failed to unwind the opposite lock as the tail was coming back in line / failed to keep any throttle in. Dealing with oversteer seems like a simple survival requirement in a Cobra...
